Will you guys boo him next year? If he does leave
Unquestionably.

We showed improvement this season without him on the field. We will continue to do so in 2015.
Don't lose your heads because you feel like this somehow sets us back as a club. It doesn't.

On the international option, I really hope we are looking at Conor McKenna. From all reports has huge potential.
-
Will probably go down as a club great.
I just hope he experiences success before he's done. Deserves it more than nearly anyone else.
-
If he wanted to be in Perth, wouldn't he be there now?

De Goey, Laverde, Duggan, Ahern, Durdin, Smith.
Plenty of talent later in the draft if we do trade down.
-
... or maybe it was just a win-win trade?

How did the list get like that?
Bailey was too blase' with the players, they lacked fitness and structure while twits like Connolly promoted tanking (thanks Prendegast, you did good with the additional picks.....). As this occured the CEO Schwab had his head too far in the past whilst trying to micromanage everything, releasing the annual business plan online known as "Whiteboard Wednesday" off the back of some rubbish book, he also spent erratically. And yet the board was constantly split and leaking everywhere.
The players (mature one in particular) run wild after hours constantly visiting Chapel St, new young players came in and what better way to introduce them to the club was by having a bender. Big Max'ey Gawn spewed all over Scully in China and LJ began to hit the booze hard.... ahhhh they were the days.... good times, and what better compliment to know you were really in with the boys by getting on "Beamer's Bumps and Bruises". Sylvia, Beamer, Russian, and Rivers truly led to the appalling player culture you see today.
Then came along Neeld, the hard ass we needed to whip the place into shape - too bad he was a moron. He completely lacked the ability to innovate, communicate and build the appropriate relationships with players and staff - particularly those that would of helped rebuild a positive culture like Green, instead he stripped him of his captaincy and had him retire. He also ignored those that could actually help him take the club forward, like that of T. Viney and recruiting staff wanting to draft Wines over Toumpas. The moron Neeld didn't even write his one and only B&F speech, most of that was written off the back of a fans email.
Now you try and bring Roos into it, trying to place him in the same light as Bailey and Neeld, I ask why?
All I can say is for once I am pleased with the clubs structure, I see unity and professionalism amongst the staff. If the club is to go forward it will be because of the likes of Roos and PJ. Yes the list is still in tatters but there will be a big turnover at the end of the season and my word I look forward to seeing what unfolds.
"Gawn spewed all over Scully in China".
Lost my [censored].

Wouldn't mind trading down if we thought we could snag this bloke.
-
Well that was a joke, trade young players to get more young players well that makes sence
I don't think it was a joke. Definitely worth some thought. If Roosy doesn't see Toumpas/Grimes/Trengove as part of the future we should put them on the table.
I agree with Maclure, I'd keep Watts.
-
I have 4 ovens and murry premiership medals, does that count
I'd take that.
-
Would love for us to take a punt on McKenna late in the draft. 4 goals in his first game of footy, takes the [censored].
-
We shouldn't be too worried about what position is a weakness, as our list is that poor you could argue that we require strengthening in every position.
Draft the best available, who will suit the system Roos wants to play.

Surprised by the lack of talk on Jayden Laverde from the Jets.
One that I can see climbing the draft order in the weeks leading up to the draft.
-
Does anyone else see a bit of Dane Swan in Dean Kent? Even the way they have started their careers is simular.
-
This bloke intrigues me. We've gone alright with Tasmanians in the past, would like to see him in the red and blue.
-
Like Barry's game, unfortunate stuff up there though.
-
It's possible he'll be my favourite Demon by the end of the season.
He's a little ripper. The 2012 draft 'week' could possibly be the best ever for this club.
Hogan, Toumpas, Viney and Barry - hopefully all 200 gamers for this club.
Have heard this before.

Given this is your first post I'm taking it you have some sort of relationship with Dom so please tell us more. Attributes and bad characteristics etc. I see he is very small and Jetta-esque which I do not care about- you need some lean players; just pray he has an appetite for the contest.
Yes, he is an absolute rake at the minute, which I know won't sit well with a few supporters but to be honest to play the way he does you don't need to be big. I don't know about bad characteristics, but defensive capabilities probably aren't his strong suit at this stage, but that isn't much different to most kids his age. As for his appetite for the contest, he will go when it is his turn, but he isnt a contested ball winner.

Bulldogs could trump our pick 3 with pick 5 + pick 21 (From Hawks)
That said I damn hope we have interviewed this Barry kid from NT for piece of mind that he isn't going to want to go running home to NT several times a year.
Dom should be fine, has been a boarder at St Pats since year 9.
Be excited about this pick up folks, that is if it happens of course.
Have seen him play a lot this year, think Lewis Jetta without the monster boot. Has that certain flair as well, on numerous occasions this year has he eyed off multiple defenders in front of him, only to split through them with absolute ease.
Also took out the schools year 12 100 metre sprint in a field that also included Jake Neade.
On top of all this, apparently a genuine top guy who struts around with a smile on his face and is always up for a chat.

I'll go early and say he will be a jet.
